Three Visions for a Bioeconomy

Bugge et al. (2016)

Bioeconomy Vision Classification

Bugge et al. (2016)	Biotechnology	Bioresource	Bioecology
Aim & Objectives	Economic growth & job creation	Economic growth & sustainability	Sustainability, biodiversity, conservation of ecosystems, avoiding soil degradation
Value Creation	Application of biotechnology, commercialisation of research & technology	Conversion and upgrading of bio-resources (process oriented)	Development of integrated production systems and high-quality products with territorial identity
Drivers & mediators of innovation	R & D, patents, TTOs, Research councils and funders (Science push, linear model)	Interdisciplinary, optimisation of land use, include degraded land in the production of biofuels, use and availability of bio-resources, waste management, engineering, science & market (Interactive & networked production mode)	Identification of favourable organic agro-ecological practices, ethics, risk, transdisciplinary sustainability, ecological interactions, re-use & recycling of waste, land use, (Circular and self-sustained production mode)

Vivien et al. (2019)	Type II	Type III	Type I
	A science-based economy driven by industrial biotechnology The cell is a factory	Biomass replaces fossil fuels and mining to produce energy and materials Biorefining at the heart of ecological transition (multilevel perspective).	An ecological economy, that is compatible with the biosphere Counter-expertise rather than concrete technical solutions Criticism from social groups who remain at the margins of decisionmaking centers
